Despite eight hits, the Dodgers were unable to score a single run. The Pirates got just one hit off Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill on Wednesday, but it was a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Hill had a perfect game through eight innings and did not allow a hit through nine innings of a scoreless game. Hill went out to the mound to start the 10th, but Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison ended it by hitting a 2-1 pitch just over the left-field wall.
